🐧 The first penguins of this season were born near the "Akademik Vernadskyi" station.
Immediately, two babies were found in the nest where the first eggs appeared — on a rock near the geocosm research laboratory.
"The first cub is already active — feeds, squeaks, so it is about half a day old. And the second, apparently, hatched just before my arrival, because it is still in pieces of the shell and is hiding under an adult penguin," said the biologist of the 29th UAE Svitozar Davydenko.
Now the babies will stay in the nest with their parents for about a month. They will take care of them in turn: they will feed with krill from their beak, keep them warm and protect them from birds of prey.
Newborn penguins are covered with gray down. They will also start changing it to the usual black and white feathers in about a month. Eventually, small groups of children will gather in "nursery" groups, which will be watched over by several adults.

DFR Lab sent the image through Microsoft Azure's Face Verification program and found that it was "highly unlikely" that the person in the second photo was the same as the first woman. The fact-checker Logically AI also found the claim to be false. The woman, Olena Kurilo, was also captured in a video after the airstrike and shown to have the injuries. The War on Fakes channel has repeatedly attempted to push conspiracies that footage from Ukraine is somehow being falsified. One post on the channel from February 24 claimed without evidence that a widely viewed photo of a Ukrainian woman injured in an airstrike in the city of Chuhuiv was doctored and that the woman was seen in a different photo days later without injuries. The post, which has over 600,000 views, also baselessly claimed that the woman's blood was actually makeup or grape juice. On February 27th, Durov posted that Channels were becoming a source of unverified information and that the company lacks the ability to check on their veracity. He urged users to be mistrustful of the things shared on Channels, and initially threatened to block the feature in the countries involved for the length of the war, saying that he didn’t want Telegram to be used to aggravate conflict or incite ethnic hatred. He did, however, walk back this plan when it became clear that they had also become a vital communications tool for Ukrainian officials and citizens to help coordinate their resistance and evacuations. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. Telegram users are able to send files of any type up to 2GB each and access them from any device, with no limit on cloud storage, which has made downloading files more popular on the platform.
